Chapter 276: Coveting Wang Yangming

As soon as King Ning died, King Ning's rebellion was thoroughly understood.

Zhengde was persuaded by the civil and military officials who came over to persuade him to return to Beijing. Zhengde did everything possible to find a way to prevaricate. They didn't see Zhengde for a while. They focused their attention on Zhu Houhuang.

began to drive Zhu Houhuang away.

Zhu Houhuang knew that he would not stay in Anqing for too long.

At this time, when the city was full of wind and rain, another person also came to Anqing City. It is Wang Yangming.

Wang Yangming dealt with the matter in Nanchang and dealt with the rebellion of King Ning from beginning to end. Wang Yangming came to Anqing to accept his reward.

"Virtuous nephew." Wang Qiong greeted Wang Yangming at Anqing Wharf, and said after meeting: "Your reward has come down, it is a new uncle." ”

Wang Qiong was full of self-blame.

Wang Yangming smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Wang Shi doesn't have to be sad, how can everything be as good as he wants." ”

Wang Qiong said: "The old man has always known the talent of the virtuous nephew, and the position of the old man will not allow the virtuous nephew to sit in the future." It's just this one thing," Wang Qiong sighed again and said, "This time it's Uncle Shi's incompetence. ”

Wang Yangming said: "The things in the world may not be in the official career, the little nephew has long seen that he is concentrating on the classics, and he has long regarded the affairs of the official career as floating clouds. ”

"This is Lord Wang Shouren." A voice suddenly interjected, Wang Qiong turned her head to look, frowned and said, "His Royal Highness King Yong? ”

The person who came was Zhu Houhuang.

Zhu Houhuang's time to leave Anqing is not far away, and even the time to leave the mainland is not far away, this time he leaves, I don't know when, he can come back again. Zhu Houhuang put down everything during this period of time, wandered around the city of Anqing, and visited the places of interest on both sides of the Yangtze River.

Today, Zhu Houhuang heard that Wang Yangming was going to Anqing. There was a sudden movement in his heart, he wanted to come and see Wang Yangming. Wang Yangming's name is also thunderous in later generations.

It can be said that the reputation of Zhengde in later generations cannot suppress Wang Yangming's reputation. Therefore, Zhu Houhuang has great curiosity about Wang Yangming.

Wang Qiong frowned, although he had spoken for Zhu Houhuang, he didn't like Zhu Houhuang much.

No matter when, the civil official's gaze at the vassal king has always been colorful, and when he saw Zhu Houhuang appear here, he couldn't stop muttering in his heart.

Zhu Houhuang also saw Wang Qiong and said: "I have seen Wang Shangshu, I have seen Mr. Wang, the younger generation admires Mr. Wang's knowledge, and I came here today to ask for advice." ”

Wang Yangming was a little interested, and said, "Oh, but I don't know that the prince knows my doctrine." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "How can I not know that Mr. Zhi's statement of conscience has opened up a new world for Confucianism. How can the juniors not know that the juniors also have a lot of questions and want to ask Mr. Wang for benefits, but they don't know if Mr. Wang has time? ”

Wang Yangming was about to say something. Wang Qiong patted her back gently. Wang Yangming immediately understood and didn't say much.

Wang Qiong said: "My virtuous nephew is about to face the saint, and he doesn't have much time recently. ”

As soon as Zhu Houhuang looked at Wang Qiong's appearance, he knew that no matter whether Wang Yangming had time or not, Wang Qiong didn't like Wang Yangming to have more contact with him.

However, Zhu Houhuang still asked cheekily: "The younger generation understands, but I don't know where Mr. Wang will be promoted after he is named a new uncle?" ”

In a word, the question is very inappropriate.

Wang Yangming was knighted for merit, so he had to be promoted from the governor of Southern Jiangxi.

However, there are positions above the governor of Southern Jiangxi, there are positions of civil officials, and there are also positions of military generals, but there are no positions for people who are both civil and military. And although the knight did not say it, it also has a meaning of closing the coffin.

It can be said that Wang Yangming has now stepped down from the post of governor of Southern Jiangxi, but the new position is far away. It is even said that there are no new positions to speak of.

Zhu Houhuang simply can't open any pot.

Wang Qiong's face darkened suddenly. Wang Yangming smiled faintly and said: "I am old, and I am exhausted from this battle, and I want to retire from home and repair books and preach." ”

Wang Qiong's face was full of rejection, and said: "His Royal Highness King Yong, the old man still has important things, so I won't accompany you." As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't look at Zhu Houhuang at all, and left with Wang Yangming.

Zhu Houhuang could only see Wang Yangming's back from a distance.

"Wang Yangming doesn't seem to have any arrangements, can he make some fuss about this?" Zhu Houhuang said secretly in his heart.

Zhu Houhuang has entered the role of a monarch more and more, for a monarch, what kind of thing is the most precious, the first is the population, the population represents the strength of a country. The second is talent.

And Wang Yangming is such a talent.

Zhu Houhuang didn't take a fancy to Wang Yangming's ability to fight, and to put it mildly, even if Wang Yangming was a handsome talent, Zhu Houhuang didn't care too much. Because Wang Yangming's talent in other aspects far exceeds his ability to lead troops to fight.

Wang Yangming was a master of Confucianism.

Although it was not important for later generations to look at Confucianism, it was the mainstream ideology at that time.

The characteristics of ancient Chinese society are like this, any transformation must be reasonable in principle, and in the Song Dynasty, there was a saying that the sky and the earth are great and the truth is the greatest.

And everything Zhu Houhuang wants to do is to change the social structure of Dongyong, and turn Dongyong's society into a society that competes for hegemony in the ocean.

However, Zhu Houhuang's strength alone is limited.

Even if he tried to bring everyone under his power, it was not only inefficient, but also unconvincing. So how to explain it, the truth behind his struggle to dominate the ocean and control the ocean is not something that ordinary people can do.

First, there is the theory of great unification, and then there is Qin to set the world into one. Zhu Houhuang must find in Confucianism the theory that supports the expansion of the ocean. But Zhu Houhuang's half-tone Confucianism, no, no, no, it is a Confucian cultivation that has not even started, how can it be done. So in the face of a great Confucian master like Wang Yangming, how could Zhu Houhuang not salivate in his heart.

He had an idea in his heart and immediately went to Xu Tai.

In Anqing City, Zhu Houhuang is not familiar with many people, among which Xu Tai is the most related, especially after the Battle of Anqing. The friendship between the two people fighting side by side has taken the relationship between the two to a new level.

Xu Tai saw Zhu Houhuang, and without waiting for Zhu Houhuang to speak first, Xu Tai said: "King Yong came just in time, and Your Majesty is ready to return to Beijing." ”

Zhu Houhuang was taken aback when he wanted to come. Zhengde will never want to return to Beijing if he doesn't visit Jiangnan for a few months.

"It's not Beijing, it's Nanjing." Xu Tai said: "Anqing has been destroyed by the war in many places. There are not many places to see, if His Majesty was not obsessed with the relics of the war, he would have gone back a long time ago, and now he should have seen everything, and naturally he would have to go back to Nanjing. ”

Only then did Zhu Houhuang say: "Lone knows that His Majesty will not return to Beijing so easily. ”

Xu Tai said: "If you don't come to me, I'll go to you." The ships have some gaps, so borrow them from me. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "It's easy to say, but when I come to you alone, I also have something to ask for." ”

Xu Tai said: "Oh, what is it? Let's hear it. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Is Wang Yangming's arrangement down?" ”

Xu Tai said: "What are you arranged?" There is no arrangement at all, I heard that Wang Yangming already wants to retire, and almost all the people above have used consensus, just wait for this Wang Yangming to be on the table himself. Otherwise, this matter is really difficult to solve. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Some time ago, His Majesty arranged for Yang Shen to be the chief historian of King Yong, and I want to ask General Xu to help and let Wang Yangming be the concubine of King Yong?" How can it be done? ”

Xu Tai hesitated for a moment and said: "This holy decree is good, anyway, when the ancestor was the first time, he also appointed the hero as the story of the vassal king." But that's not the case anymore. Now the reputation of the feudal lord is not good. The status is not as good as it was at the beginning. The holy decree is down, if Wang Yangming returns it, I will have no choice. ”

Even though Wang Yangming is now knighted, he is still a literati in his bones. The matter of sealing and returning the holy decree should not be too easy. And because of the matter of the vassal king, the holy decree was returned, and he could still get the support of Shilin.

Zhu Houhuang wants to get Wang Yangming to Dongyong, and he must come to the door in person to explain it.

"I don't care if it works." Zhu Houhuang said: "You get this appointment down first." ”

Xu Tai said: "Okay, I'll do this thing, but it's hard to say if it doesn't work out." ”
